Aerosol | AWI | Ames | Metadata Summary
x
C. Ritter (AWI) – Multi-wavelength system (excimer and Nd:YAG) making winter measurements between 10 and 45 km since 1991. In 1999 the system was upgraded for tropospheric measurements of aerosol and water vapor. Since 2001 it is a "3+2+1" Raman lidar. |

| LidarMARL | Campaign | Aerosol | AWI | Summary
x
O. Schrems and F. Immler (AWI) — Mobile Aerosol Raman Lidar (MARL), participated in the NAOMI intercomparison in Ny Ålesund in January/February 1998. However, these data are not in the NDACC archive. |

Aerosol, Ozone, Temperature, Water Vapor | GSFC, SSAI | Ames *.mgl | Metadata Summary
x
J. T. Sullivan (GSFC), L. Twigg (SSAI), and G. Sumnicht (SSAI) — The STROZ lidar retrieves ozone vertical profiles in the stratosphere from 10 to 50 km. Temperature to ~80 km and aerosols (at 355 nm) to 35 km also are measured. The instrument has also been modified to measure water vapor from near the ground to ~10 km. As a mobile intercomparator, it has participated in an ozone intercomparison in Ny Ålesund in September 1997 and January–February 1998. The 1997-1998 data is archived in the name of the previous PI – McGee. |
